Nottingham Forest supporters have voiced growing frustration over what they believe is a tactical misstep by new manager Ange Postecoglou. Many fans are convinced that one of the team’s brightest stars is being deployed out of position, a decision they feel has limited the player’s effectiveness and hurt Forest’s overall balance on the pitch.
Since Postecoglou’s arrival at the City Ground, his attacking philosophy has been clear — quick transitions, overlapping full-backs, and fluid movement across the front line. However, a number of fans on social media have expressed concerns that one key player, believed to be Morgan Gibbs-White, has been forced into a deeper or wider role instead of his natural attacking midfield position. Supporters argue that the England international’s creativity and link-up play are being wasted in areas where he cannot fully influence the game.
“Play him in the middle and let him dictate the tempo — that’s where he shines,” one fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “He’s not a winger, and it shows every match,” added another, echoing the frustration shared by many Forest followers.
The issue became even more pronounced after Forest’s recent run of inconsistent performances, with some matches exposing the lack of creativity in the final third. Fans believe that returning Gibbs-White to his preferred central role could unlock the team’s attacking potential and bring out the best in the new summer signings.
While Postecoglou has earned praise for his bold style and commitment to attacking football, his player positioning choices have come under increasing scrutiny. Forest fans, known for their passionate opinions, are now urging the Australian tactician to act swiftly and “play players where they belong” before the team loses further ground in the Premier League.
Whether Postecoglou heeds their call remains to be seen, but one thing is certain — Nottingham Forest supporters are not shy about making their voices heard when it comes to how their team should be set up.
